I just got a super no-name set, from a Singapore supplier,latest updated SG &MLY map, It is very useful, If u interested of it, let me know. [email protected] Good luck.bigfilsing wrote:Seriously considering getting a car GPS unit. I find my trips to various industrial locations becoming more frequent and taxing.
I've already set my sights on a Garmin Unit . My question is i can;t really see the difference between the 2 series and the 7 series. Well at least not anything that justifies the 300 buck difference in price.
Any and all comments/experiences welcome
Cheers
I actually purchased my Garmin 760 from Ebay in the USA. and saved 250$ I couldn't find it any cheaper in Singapore it was between 650 and 750$ This was last November.bigfilsing wrote:Seriously considering getting a car GPS unit.

In the off chance that somebody else reads this . If you are buying in Singapore beware of parralel imports ( Eastgear) . They claim to be singapore units but actually just have some singapore maps on the memory card. They work OK but dont have junction view etc
If any body is interested in knowing the why/what/ where on these units post back and i'll try to explain
Cheers

I've had a garmin 60CS since 2005 and its great. The only issue is the screen size while driving ...not too safe to say the least.
My main reason is after nearly getting wiped out by a truck recently in the Jurong area ..( my fault...trying to use the street book and drive) and i seem to be visiting there more frequently i thought a 4 inch screen with voice instructions may be useful.
KSL you must have read my mind as i just picked up s 255W for US$ 120![]()
I decided all the blue tooth and gizmo's weren't really needed ( for a change ...i normally get sucked in by the gadget fairies)
I use the malsing maps from the web. They are now officilly recognised by Garmin and the forum has plenty of poster and loggers so they just keep getting better and better. They've come up with a cool system where the maps are viewable on your PC but you can only use them on your GPS unit if you have the unlock code. You only get the unlock if you provide input to the group/ forum for the next version . Pretty good sytem and i take my hat off to them for keeping track and administering this system
